# Tropical Modernism × Vernacular Architecture — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=tropical-modernism+vernacular-architecture
# Tropical Modernism carries the structure. Vernacular Architecture appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Tropical Modernism (Style, 1940s–1970s) and its accent from Vernacular Architecture (Style, prehistory–). Structural cues: Brise-soleil; Deep eaves; Cross-ventilation; Permeable screens. Accent cues, used sparingly: Local materials; Response to climate; Anonymity and repeated types; The settlement as a whole form. Composition: Keep rooms shallow and open on both sides so air crosses through.. Type and lettering: Place signs in the shade of the eaves so glare never blanks them.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Use only materials found nearby and detail them so they can be repaired. Mood: Trust, Calm, Futurism, Intimacy. Color: build on #e2dfcc, #779173, #48514a with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Modern Architecture, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Tropical Modernism: Louvers and canopies added as shapes, with no calculation of orientation and sun angles, stop neither sun nor rain. Look past a tropical look to colonial rule, nation building after independence and local architects.
# - Vernacular Architecture: Quoting the form while dropping local material and local builders yields an imitation nobody can maintain, and the reason for responding to place disappears.
